Rami Fortis, or simply Fortis, is an Israeli rock singer. Born in Tel Aviv, Fortis became known as a pioneer of Israeli punk rock. His debut album Plonter, released in 1978, was not a commercial success at the time, though today it is considered an influential cult album. His fame in Israel came with the release of a Hebrew language album, Sipurim Me'hakufsa, in 1988. Due to his behaviour on stage he was nicknamed The Madman.
Apart from his work in music, Rami Fortis served as a judge for the first season of The X Factor Israel.
